Chapter 368: 368 Wen Nian, you are innocent, but sometimes innocence can be hateful

"How is it?"

Wen Nian asked.

"Mr. President..." the doctor furrowed his brows, "Isn’t the First Lady’s child perfectly fine?"

Wen Nian looked confused, as if several brains were not enough to process this.

He was confused; so was the family doctor.

The family doctor at the President Mansion, whether in medical skills, expertise, or personal qualities, was one in ten thousand.

They knew what they could say and what they could not say as the President Mansion’s doctor.

When Secretary Qu called him, the words were very implicit, but he had mostly guessed them.

Secretary Qu addressed Miss Tang as the First Lady, and regardless of whether the President was married or not, he too referred to her as the First Lady, understanding clearly the exceptional place this woman held in the President’s heart.

Before coming here, he clearly remembered being told that the First Lady had miscarried, had just finished her confinement, and needed an examination to prevent any underlying illness.

Upon arriving at the President Mansion and speaking with Mr. President, it was also about the First Lady’s miscarriage...

But now his whole person was bewildered; did he misunderstand the term "miscarriage," or what?

From the moment he entered, it was clear that the First Lady was unaware that she was to have an examination,

"My surname is Ge, I am from the President Mansion..."

"Dr. Ge, I’ve seen you before, you are here to...?"

"Oh, Mr. President mentioned you had an abortion before and hoped I would examine you to see if your uterus had recovered well."

"..."

"What’s the matter, First Lady?"

He thought Tang Xiaohua’s expression was very strange. Carrying the equipment to the bedside, he hadn’t even sat down when he heard Tang Xiaohua calmly say,

"They made a mistake, I did not have a miscarriage, but since you’ve brought the ultrasound, please check on the baby..."

"..."

The brought ultrasound device could clearly see that the fetus in the First Lady’s womb was about four centimeters long, with ankles and wrists already formed.

But Dr. Ge couldn’t focus at all, feeling his mind buzzing, unable to sort through his thoughts.

Wen Nian had already been staring fixedly for several seconds.

Dr. Ge felt the atmosphere had become too awkward...

"Say it again."

"Ah?"

"Exactly what you said just now, repeat it exactly."

Dr. Ge couldn’t care much anymore, he swallowed, "The First Lady’s baby is developing quite well in the womb... How could you and Secretary Qu say that the First Lady... miscarried?"

"..."

"Mr. President?"

Wen Nian was completely stiff; he turned his head to look at the closed door. This past month, Tang Xiaohua’s actions had flashed by him like a fleeting glimpse of scenery...

Dr. Ge stood there, seeing the President of the country reveal a very bewildering expression... He didn’t speak, unsure whether to continue staying here or to silently leave.

"She... didn’t abort the child..."

Wen Nian moved his lips, murmuring dazedly, and then the next second he heartily laughed, patting Dr. Ge on the shoulder,

"Thank you, that was hard on you."

"...Mr. President is too polite..."

Dr. Ge hadn’t finished speaking when Wen Nian had already turned and walked into the bedroom, the door not firmly closed but left ajar...

Obviously, Mr. President was not going to explain anything to his family doctor.

He felt as if he had watched a thrilling and intriguing clip from a movie, but he hadn’t seen the whole clip, just a few sporadic sentences left for him to piece together, scratching an itch in his mind...

He leaned towards that ajar door, taking two steps before he woke up to himself, shaking his head and walking away first.

Was he trying to eavesdrop on Mr. President’s private affairs? Was he asking for trouble?

————

Tang Xiaohua was in a very good mood, naturally because the baby was developing well and even the wrists and ankles had already formed.

At last, it was no longer possible to abandon this "little troublemaker."

It was not just an embryo anymore, but truly a life in every sense of the word.

She leaned against the bed, really thinking of nothing, and when Wen Nian burst in, it genuinely startled her.

That quickly?

Tang Xiaohua was suspicious.

"Xiao Li, you played quite a big joke on me..."

He sat beside the bed, his hands braced beside her, his face displaying an indescribable mix of complex emotions.

"When did it happen?"

Tang Xiaohua just looked at him blankly.

Wen Nian’s heart sank, his expression stiffening, then he said, "Dr. Ge said... the child is fine, he..."

Could Ge Qing have deceived him?

In that moment, Wen Nian truly struggled internally, this usually decisive Mr. President couldn’t even tell who was lying!

No, Ge Qing wouldn’t have the guts!

The only person audacious enough, in the whole country, was Song Lili.

He looked up at her, "Why lie to me? Clearly you care too, so why lie and say you terminated it?"

"I didn’t want to stay at the President Mansion."

Tang Xiaohua replied directly.

"Are you planning to take the child back to the Navy Corps?"

"Leaving the President Mansion is the first step."

...

Wen Nian just couldn’t understand her.

"Wen Nian, you are innocent."

"What?"

"You should be innocent, but being innocent can be detestable."

Because he couldn’t possibly understand what she had experienced.

Her gaze shifted away, gently pushing him, trying to get off the bed, his hands imprisoning her in this confined space, very oppressive.

Wen Nian, unable to decipher her words, merely straightened up, watching as she put on shoes and walked directly to the desk to grab the kettle; Wen Nian immediately ran over, snatching the kettle before her,

"Let me pour it. Don’t touch the kettle anymore."

...Tang Xiaohua’s hand hung in the air, watching Wen Nian’s careful manner, she slowly exhaled...

She sat down on the chair, Wen Nian prepared lukewarm water and placed it by her hand, then pulled up a chair across from her,

"What else are you hiding from me? Maybe you should just tell me everything today."

Wen Nian had an expression of "I’m scared now," which was somewhat hilarious.

"There are quite a few things I’m hiding... but why should I tell you everything?"

Tang Xiaohua said offhand.

"You said it yourself, we must be unconditional towards each other..."

"I’ve changed my mind, I can’t do it."

She was candid, not out of spite, not out of frustration, but telling the truth; she might have had a double standard when she said it.

After drinking some water, she set the glass aside,

"I will give birth to the child, but I am doing it for myself, not for you."

"...You are mad at me."

"I don’t have the right."

"You are mad at me! That day I went to the hospital to see you, asked you about the child, you said it was eliminated! I just believed it because I didn’t understand why you’d go to the hospital then..."

"To preserve the pregnancy."

"..."

"Actually, the doctor said it wasn’t necessary, said everything was very normal, pregnancy symptoms were also considered normal, but I still wanted to do something... afraid that my own body would let me down, afraid I couldn’t keep this child..."
